Resumen del Editor

April 1917 finds the Tsar Nicholas II and Tsarina Alexandra of Russia under house arrest at Tsarskoe Selo after the tsar’s abdication in favor of his brother, Grand Duke Michael. What was once Empress Alexandra’s cozy retreat, the Alexander Palace, is now cold, forbidding, servantless, overrun by revolutionary soldiers, and without lighting or heating. And several of her children, Maria in particular, are still at death’s door suffering from the measles and pneumonia that has prevented the family from escaping its fate. Rasputin’s prophecy/curse that, if he were to be killed by a member of the Russian Imperial Family (as he was a few months earlier), Alexandra’s entire family will die within two years, has become particularly ominous. Alexander Kerensky, head of the Provisional Government, is their best hope of salvation, and his government is about to be toppled by the Bolsheviks who have a very different agenda for the future of Russia.
